hi people! need some help

I want to create an WinCCFlexRT OPC Server, and OPC Client(computers are conected through ethernet). I've created a project with OPC Server option, and try to create OPC connection to other computer but can't find the OPC server, pls help with some advices.
 
Actually, WinCC Flex RT as an OPC Server is an available option.
When you compile the WinCC Flex RT with "Function as OPC Server" selected under the Device Settings, a message appears "Info: Required license: WinCC flexible /OPC-Server for PC-RT".

The other problem is to configure DCOM between the two computers. Never tried it but have heard that it is non-trivial. Search for "DCOM" and you will get useful information.
 
Here is how you can set your DCOM permissions properly. Depending on your current operating system, select a document from the list below:

Configuring COM/DCOM for Windows NT or 2000

Configuring COM/DCOM for Windows XP or 2003 (no service packs)

Configuring COM/DCOM for Windows XP SP2 or 2003 SP1
